IT behooYes the parents of some of our
giddy and thoughtlesS young girls I'd keep
IN eye upon the actions and associations of
their daughters. Some weeks ago we
called attention to the questionable behav-
ior of a gathering of I.chighton and Weiss
por. damsels at the Lehigh Valley depot in
the former place; for reasons, obvious to
all, we felt constrained to withhold the
names of the participants in the Sunday
afternoon reyelry, feeling sure that by
simply calling attention to the fact would
cause maiderly blush of shame TO man.le
the fair cheeks of our damscl5 and prel ent
repetition of the same. However, we
have been sadly mistaken in our conjec-
ture, anu this time we have it from good
authority that the unnailenly, almost vul-
gar, behavior of not a few of our young
girls who are just budding into woman
hood, was disgraccful in the extreme. 1t
The been said, and not uhwisely, that on the
virtue of our women depends the future of
our nation. This is true, for there is moth
ing 50 vile. communicating and disgusting
as n woman who has sunk to the lowest
round of sin and shame. A word of eau
ton to our young ladies should be sufficient
warning and prevent a repetition of the
scene enacted at the Lehigh Valley depot
last Sunday. Grand and glorious oppor-
tunites are strewn along the path nf life
for American women to become the saviors
of wrecked mankind, and for pushing for
ward the cause of christianity-scattering
the seeds OF love, truth, fidelity and affec-
ton until they are called to that better land
where they will reap the rich reward fol-
their services here on earth.

Rev. Amos and wife, of Reading, at
tracte1 about five hundred people to School
Hall, Wednesday evening Of last week, to
hear the reverend gentleman and his wife
advocate the "Rights of the Common Peo-
pie" The reverend gentleman spoke for
some time as TO the aims and aspirations of
the knight of Labor organization. their
wants and demands, and the inevitable re-
suit bodhd to accrue by the banding to-
gcther of the laboring masses of the world
for the ayowed purpose Of resisting the
power of monopoly and casting of the
shackels which fof yeafs have held the
workingJhen in tho full power of
corporations, and to resist the heavy, undue
and onerous oppression of to-day. His re-
marks were listened to very attentively and
during the evening was frequently ap-
plauded. Mrs. Amos attracted the atten-
tion of the ladies for time by asking a
proper observance of the rights belonging
to women, and picturing graphically the
position of man and wife. If the lady's
views were correctly carried out there
would be unquestionably complete trans
mogiiication Of the rule in mary house
holds.

Topics Discussed Over the River" I"

1t is noticeable to great degree that the
exponders of the labor cause are, in most
eases, far too familiar with the wrongs in
Aicted on the working classes; they draw
in lurid colors the untold suffering and
misery occasioned by low wages and the
working of half time; they picture future
for the laboring masses as false as dogmas
can make it and impose upon tie dnplicity
Of the laborer to such an extent that fire
is kindled in many a peacefdi bosom that
tihAe alone can quench. The fact of the
matter is, labor to-day is farther advanced
than 1t has ever been, the explanation is
plain and simple--the working masses are
united to-day in healthy body organized
for the purpose Of expounding and advanc-
ing the cause of labor, organized for the
purpose of demanding and upholding the
Just rights of free and equal people, or
ganized for the avowed purpose Of keeping
honest and earnest industry from the
slough of despond" to which 1t was sink
ing by the tyrannical rule of that despot-
motopolN organized for the pure and NOR
al elevation OF the toilers of the world who
were fast becoming the typical representa-
tiyes of the surfs of Russia, organized as a
means of more thoroughly and correctly
pushing forward the interests of the masses
who represent the labor OF our land. Their
organization Is complete in almost every
particular, although there is one necessary
essential still wanting to make the grand
est organization Of America one of envy,
viz: educatloa. In a land of free schools,
great and numberless institutions of learn
ing, it is lamentable to note the inability of
the masses, accustomed to toll from early
beyhood for Livelihood, to be possessed
of the simplest rudiments of any particular
branch OF education. This is not the re-
suit of lack of sufficient energy Or want
of sufficient power, but the outcropping of
one of the most severe vicissitudes of the
laborer. Our haticn has been deprived of
many bright Intellectual light OH account
of the want of means to develope to its full
proportion the mind of the young who are
brought up amid hardshipsi pfivation
and want. In great degree this mlsfor-
une can be femedied, by adopting regu-
lar course of study to be pursued in the
assembly of the Knights of Labor. Edu-
cate the laboring masses and the scales
which have so long blinded them will fall
from their eyes and we will see standing
out before us representative men of the
world who are able to ill faithfully and in
diligently the various Offices of the nation
with credit to all. Organize, agitate and
educate represents the si9nct of the order
educate first, then agitate and organize, and
the false theories which have so long blind
ed the masses will be no more. Commence
the noble work in your assemblies and
from there let It spread over the world,

OUR MAN ARour 7 TOWN.
Tho Things our People Find Time to Talk
About from Dav TO Day.

The imprisonment of both McLaren
and Stransbcrry caused gentle zephyr of
excitement to prevade here last Saturday.
For time the story that McLaren was 10
be located in durdnce Uilc for six months
and that Sheriff Gallagher would hold on
to Strawberry for sixty days was not be-
lieved, as on the night previous the latter
had expressed himself on the manner in
which the case would end quito emphati-
cally and the majority Of the people felt
inclined to the belief that he was about
right. However great changes take place
in a night and when Stransberry once more
treads on Lehghton ground be will be full
sixty days older and wiser too, we hope.
The imprisonment of these individuals
should be & warning to others who pose rs

whom there are, unfortunately not few
